I am currently a first year Master's student in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I graduated with a double major in Computer Engineering and Computer Sciences.

My undergraduate research focused on Machine Learning in the Material Sciences & Engineering Department. I worked on configuring a CD-VAE for material combination generation under Professor Dane Morgan and Dr Benjamin Afflerbach.

This was followed by research on the LDOS Project where I worked on Machine Learning (ML) for Systems under Professor Michael Swift.

This also included a Software Engineering internship at a California based consulting firm.

I am currently on the onlook for internship opportunities for next summer 2026.

Research Interests:

I am broadly interested in generative AI. My current coursework deals with diffusion models and AI-Systems co-design research. I am also working on optimizing diffusion model workloads through CUDA.
